=== Using a Pastebin ===
* The original pastebins: http://pastebin.org http://pastebin.com
Now, you can easily share this URL in IRC without actually copying your text directly into the channel. The length of time that the pastebin data will be stored varies between the pastebin sites. '''Note:''' pastebin data is not in any way secure or private! -- don't pastebin confidential information.
{{Admon/note|Fedora Users: fpaste|There is a utility provided in Fedora that simplifies sending text to a pastebin. This utility is called <code>fpaste</code> and may be used in a pipeline: <code><nowiki>ls -l /var/run|fpaste</nowiki></code> -- the fpaste command will print the pastebin URL to the screen. If you are using the GUI and include the <code>-o</code> option, then fpaste will place the URL in the clipboard and primary selection as well, so you can easily paste it in your IRC program.}}
